After the murder, the gang initially fled to Bhandara, then moved to Madhya Pradesh, splitting up to evade capture. One faction headed toward Uttar Pradesh, while the other traveled to Tirupati via Visakhapatnam, complicating the police’s efforts to track them.
Murke, believed to have distanced himself from the gang post-murder, is now providing crucial leads about the gang’s network and the whereabouts of Bunty Hiranwar. Ongoing police operations are intensifying to capture the remaining fugitives hiding across various states.
